A 31-year-old Birmingham man on Wednesday was indicted on charges of attempting to entice a 14-year-old girl to engage in prostitution, according to U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance.

Nathaniel Russell Glass is accused of using the Internet and a cell phone to arrange to have sex with the girl at a Hoover hotel on Oct. 3, a press release stated.

Glass allegedly met an undercover U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent at the hotel and paid her $75 before Hoover police and federal agents arrested him, an affidavit stated.

The affidavit stated Glass initiated contact with the agent via e-mail and asked for pictures of the girl. If convicted of the attempted enticement charge, Glass could face a maximum sentence of life in prison with a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison.
